More Organizing
Well got up early this morning to get more blood test, Praise the Lord my primary doctor ok'd the other blood test my homeapathy doctor wanted. God is good! I have a appointment with her on Friday. The tech who takes my blood is a sister in Christ what a blessing she is. Well stopped off by Wal-Mart got me some of those plastic totes to store stuff and some 8x11 1/2 drawers to put my ribbon in that is not on spools. So I got home built a fire and spent the rest of the day doing that. I just woke up keeping warm in front of a fire can sure make a gal sleepy. So other than that have not done much today just sitting here munching on some cherries and going to bed shortly. Have to get busy on my swap.

What a Day
Woke up this morning to my aunt and uncle working on re-arranging my craft area, so I have been busy all day today. My aunt and I was talking about it yesterday so today they helped me to re-arrange and improve my crafting area. It's not much just a small space but it is mine and it is wonderful. I do have another space in my living area where I store my paper and embelishments. I will be working on that area when I finish this space. All the furniture was given to me by my 2 uncles. Once I have it done I will post some pics so you all can see. I am so excited to get this finished and do some crafting.
Went to church yesterday it was great, we are studying the book of Ephessians great book! Still not sure if I will be changing churches. I love the people and have made some great friends. I just don't agree with how certain things are done so I am going to give it some time and see what happens.
It has been snowing all day long needless to say I have not been out side brrrrrrrrr!!. I would love to go outside and take some pictures though. I love the snow just hate the cold. Well time to go to bed I want to get up early tomorrow and finish organizing my space. So much to do and the days just seem to fly by. Good night everyone and God Bless.

It's Cold outside
Good Morning all,
Is it cold outside BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! Just came in from out doors trying to help a little with getting wood for the fire place. Although I guess I am not much help as I have to stop every so often to catch my breath, but if finally is done. Well I had a wonderful Christmas it was just me and my aunt and uncle. The rest of the family came down on new years week end and it was wonderful.
Last year my 2 cousins decided that we should make the presents for this year which at first I was like are they kidding.( I was not feeling up to that spent all winter in chemo and on the sofa BIG COUCH POTATOE, then spring came and I spent ALL my days in bed with a couple of trips to the hospital I only got up to go to radiation treatments then right home and to bed. I could not believe how much that will take every once of energy out of you. I went from 150 lbs. to 122 lbs. in what seemed like over night. Doctors kept wanting to put in a feeding tube and I kept refusing. Finally June came and I finished both treatments Praise GOD and am now working on getting back to normal and trying to get healthy.) Any who we had such a great time opening and making the presents this year, we decided to do it again for next year. I already know what I am doing for one of the girls and have started.
Had my doctors appointment this Wednesday and explained to him why I am not going to start chemo again. He was ok with it and will see me on a monthly basis and do my blood work. So for this week my white and red blood cell count was a little down but not much. So I must work on that. Other than that I am back crafting and swapping which I love to do. But am taking it easy not to bite off more than I can chew. I am spending the day at home and just going to enjoy the day and try to stay warm.

WOW almost 2 years since I have posted on here, time sure flies by. Well I never mentioned that when I was in PR. I had a tumor on my neck and since I was a cancer survivor I was pretty sure what it was, just had so much to deal with at the time just put it out of my mind.
Needless to say the past year has been filled with doctors, chemo, and radiation treatments. My tumor is gone but the throat cancer has moved too my lung, the ovarian cancer I thought I survived is in my sternum also located in between my lungs. I finished 40 rounds of radiation and chemo this past June. The chemo I had been doing for a year. Evidently the radiation killed the cancer in my left tonsil and limp nodes in my neck but not before it moved to my lung. (this explains why I have not posted nothing for such a long time. It takes everything out of you, I could write a book alone about the past year and a half).The doctor wants me to do more chemo but for the moment I have chosen not to since he told me there was basically nothing he could do for me just buy me time. So I have chosen an alternative treatment for the moment. The bible teaches us that by the crucifixion Jesus not only saved those who believes but also healed us of all diseases, So I stand on the word of God by His stripes I am healed. I am living one day at a time I am doing great and I feel great. I know God is with me and if it is for me to go home I know I will be forever healed there. But God is good and forever faithful and I will praise Him in this storm no matter where it leads me. Even though I am going thru this, I have been so blessed during this time with the people I have met and the new friends I have made.
Well just to catch up on other things I no longer have my message board or my Design team just could not cope with everything. Sometimes we have good intentions but just can not complete them. I just walked away from everything once I got back home and started dealing with all the changes and the illness. For any of you who have gone thru cancer more than once can understand. I just started back on doing scrapping and card making a few months ago. I do cards for my church but that could be changing here shortly as I may be changing churches. I still live with my Aunt and Uncle bless them both. My cat that was in PR waiting for his plane ride did make it home but he got very sick about 6 months ago and I had to put him down. Moo Moo and Honey are still with me Praise God, thank goodness for my fur babies. I am still married just with everything that has been going on the last thing I want to deal with is lawyers and a divorce. My husband has kept in touch with me and admitted to everything but that does not change anything. I am here and he is there and that is how it will stay. I am working on me getting healthy and my relationship with GOD. I have no desire or do I see myself starting or wanting to be in another relationship.
It's funny how your life can change in an instant, I can say I do miss my friends, the food, and the warm weather in PR. But I am home, I have peace, I have a loving caring family, good friends and a Father in heaven who loves me, what more could a girl ask for.
So this is where I am now in this thing we call life. May God Bless all of you and good night.

I made it
It has bee quite awhile since I have been on here, and much has happened. My computer burnt up about 2 weeks before I left PR. So I could not get on here daily and write.
Where should I begin, I had my garage sale and the turn out was more than I could of asked for. Let's just say I made enough money to support me for a month. I had to put down 2 of my kitties one is still in PR waiting to be shipped home.
Spoke to dh on monday said he would call back he has not. I forgot to pay his phone so he probably has no phone and thus can not call me, oh well life is hard but he is a big boy and can take care of himself. My cell from PR will be cut this sunday.
On the other hand I have been moving forward with my life got my license, bank account, cell phone, and hopefully my car will be here sometime early next week and I can start looking for a job.
I am so gratefull to be home the flight seemed a little long and it was cold when I got off the plane but it has warmed up now. Honey and Moo Moo are doing great they seem to really love it here.
It is really amazing how things change when you leave a stressful, negative situation.
So not much time to chat at the moment have to get ready for bible study. This is something great family bible study every morning........................AWESOME.

DAY 10
Well yesterday was a slow day. I did not get much done as I was not feeling well at all. packed up a couple of boxes and Liang took me out to eat. We went to sizzler and had the buffet which was so so. As I was sitting there observing all the people couples actually with there kids holding hands as they entered the restaurant, I started wondering will I ever have that? A partner, who truly loves me and wants to share his life with me. "This is my third marriage, I just can't figure it out. My sister, my two cousins have been married for more than 12 yrs. What is it with me, am I really that bad a choosing a partner or do I just attract the bad apples. Please understand I am not looking for a partner, I just wish I had an answer as to why none of my relationships seem to work out for the long run."
Any who went to the mall and walked around for awhile in Marshall's(my favorite store). Then we came home.
Later that night we went back out to eat at pizza hut. I was just sitting there and looking at him. After all this man has done to me I still love him. I AM NOT in love but I care for him. (I just can't help but feel sad for him, what will he do when immigration deports him. I just can't help but to feel sad to know one day his whole world is going to crumble.
I know my world(marriage) has come to an end, my life as I know it is over but, I have Jesus Christ to watch over me and take care of me. I have a family who loves me and has been supporting me thru this whole ordeal. My husband does not believe in the Lord and it just fills my heart with sadness to know where he is headed.) It took everything I had not to start crying, then I just got kind of angry, needless to say I cried on the way home and he has no idea why. When we got home I went to bed.
I guess I am going to have to face it these next 11 days are going to be an emotional roller coaster ride. Once I get home it may take awhile but I will be OK. Just take some time to heal, get into a good church and I will be on my way to recovery.
I did get my cat kennel for Moo Moo and Honey. Needless to say they did not like it and Honey turned into instant diva. Poor Moo Moo just went to the back of the kennel and sat with his back to her. You could see it in their faces they were like what the heck is this. They have never traveled before except to the vet. But I have been assured that as long as they are healthy they should have no problems traveling home. I just hope they don't act up when they are getting checked in, animals can surprise you that way when they are nervous. If I don't forget I will post some pics of them in the kennel. Honey has been sleeping on top of the kennel since I bought it, and Moo Moo wants nothing to do with it.
